Will he pass the daddy test?

With his job in jeopardy, it couldn't be a worse time for Sheriff Nate Landry's recent past to come back to haunt him. But it would take an army to stop SWAT team leader Julie Smith. The fellow cop—and sister of his ex-fiancĂ©e—wants one thing from the beleaguered lawman: custody of the toddler son that Nate didn't know he had.

He may not be natural daddy material, but he quickly takes a shine to little Duke. And then there are the feelings Nate's been hiding for years. Only now Julie's running for sheriff of Harmony Valley—against him. Time to retreat? Not if he wants a future with the woman he loves.

I'm just going to start out by admitting that I just may be half in love with Sheriff Nate Landry.  He is seriously swoony but not for his good looks (which he has!) or his suave (which he doesn't have much of!).  His attraction, for me, is his quiet strength, his patience, kindness and his good manners.  Is that weird?  He is a true gentleman and I just adore him.

Then you add in a super cute two year old and that man gets even MORE attractive.  Yup.  It's true.  That two year old Drake made my mommy instincts hum.  I want him.  

This is a slow building romance.  The sparks don't really jump off the page but the story has a gentle pull that kept me engaged and interested.  There are all kinds of meddling, crazy and quirky characters thrown into this book.  Combine that with the small town antics and you will be shaking your head and rolling your eyes, just like me.  It was a lot of fun.

He's coming up on her blind side

How can Shelby Hawkley forgive Gage Jamero for bailing on her when she needed him most? He and her husband, Nick, were the best part of her life. Now her former best friend is back, shaking up the widowed wine harvester's world. The safest bet is to protect herself. Except Gage is awakening feelings that are decidedly unfriend-like.

Shelby is the woman Gage has secretly loved since high school. Starting over—together—could be the best dream he's ever had. If only he can find the courage to say what he should have said all those years ago.

Here we go today with another fabulous Harlequin Heartwarming title- "One Perfect Year".  Just in case I've never said this before, I love Harlequin Heartwarming.  They provide me with clean romance books that focus on relationships, emotions and romance.  I know what I'm going to get when I pick one a book from this line.   I know I won't be surprised by any sexual situations.  That's perfect for me.

If you like friendship turning to romance stories, this book will make you happy.  Shelby and Gage have been friends for a long time.  Of course, Gage has always loved Shelby but Shelby fell in love with his best friend so Gage was never free to act on his feelings for Shelby.  Gage is nothing but a gentleman.  He is very careful with Shelby and her feelings.  He knows that he has to change her spinster mindset though if he's going to win her over.  Luckily, he has a few town friends on his side who help to gently nudge Shelby along.

I know this is the fourth book in the series but I do believe it is a stand alone novel.  I haven't read the first three books in the series but I never felt like I was missing out on anything.  I'd love to go back and read the whole series though.  

This is a sweet story of love and friendship.  I enjoyed it from beginning to end.  

Award winning, USA Today bestseller Melinda Curtis writes the Harmony Valley series of sweet and emotional romances for Harlequin Heartwarming, and the indie pubbed Bridesmaid series.
